boabie 230 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 LNS verdict: "Rangers FC is now owned and operated by Newco, which bears no responsibility for the matters for which we are concerned"LNS verdict: "in these circumstances the financial penalty lies only upon Oldco and does not affect Rangers FC under its new ownership" My understanding is the excuse used for the fine at subject is, Rangers broke the articles of association and were fined for that. Not for what LNS was looking at - even though it amounted to the same thing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Pay the fine and let's move on ,don't see any point in trying to appeal we must have spent a kings ransome on legal fees . I think it is just an SPFL tribuneral and not a court of law. I don't think we would have much legal fees. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublusince1982 243 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 would fight it all the way. The spfl like to state acceptance as precedent when it suits on other matters so personally would never accept this judgement 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 As a side issue, I would certainly hope that BDO go after the football authorities for monies retained by them from transfers, UEFA, etc. The fellows still owed money deserve no less. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,302 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) I'll get slaughtered for saying this but I think we've little alternative other than to pay this fine if rules were broken despite what LNS says. The club continued when we went from oldco to newco and so the newco should accept its responsibility here.

MacK1950 2,250 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Better just to pay it as the leeches will just ring fence the money from what we will be due for being champions.Be interesting to see how much more they suck out of things in the future. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabiDuck 89 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Controversial view point, possibly, but I'm personally in favour of footballing debts being paid by the club. Tax issues aside (they're a matter for the PLC and not the club) payments such as transfers are football payments so should be the remit of the football club, hence we still should be paying them. Likewise footballing monies coming in (transfer fees etc). If nothing else, it supports the same club argument! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
